Being one of the biggest pop stars on the planet means you naturally keep star-studded company and Beyoncé’s inner circle is no different. I mean, she literally has a former president on speed dial.

However, it’s not just A-Listers Beyoncé is keeping close to as she clearly knows the importance of trust and family. Once again proving that she’s not only immensely talented, but also incredibly loyal.

So, which lucky people have actually made it into Beyoncé’s uber exclusive inner circle?

Jay-Z

Who better to kick off this list than Beyoncé’s husband. Their joint world tour On the Run was so successful it even got a sequel. The pair were married in 2008 and now have three children: Blue Ivy, and twins Rumi and Sir. Despite having some public fallouts, the pair remain one of the biggest power couples today and are ironically tied at the top spot for most Grammy’s won. You know what they say: those who win Grammy’s together, stay together.

Solange Knowles

Clearly pop stardom runs in the blood as Beyoncé’s sister is also a singer and songwriter. Not only that, Solange is a triple threat having been a backup dancer for Destiny’s Child as well as being an actress. While there have been rumours of a feud between the pair, these have been dispelled with their mother telling The Guardian “They are so close”.

Tina Knowles

Beyoncé’s mother is a businesswoman and fashion designer in her own right (would we expect anything less?) but remains a massive part of both of her daughters’ lives. She’s also formed her own supergroup including infamous Momager Kris Jenner as well as Oprah Winfrey. Who run the world?

Michelle Williams

One of Beyoncé’s former bandmates, it seems Destiny’s Child all remain close to this day. For example, Michelle’s 2014 song Say Yes featured both Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland. The trio also reunited for events such as the 2013 Super Bowl halftime show and Coachella in 2018.

Kelly Rowland

Described by Hello! as Beyoncé’s “best friend”, Kelly Rowland has earned her title having been friends with Beyoncé since the age of nine and moving in with her at 11. The pair even consider themselves as sisters and often celebrate each other’s successes with cute social media posts.

Alicia Keys

Speaking to Hits Radio, Keys claimed she and Beyoncé had a long-standing friendship and started music at a similar time, strengthening their bond through their shared experience. Beyoncé has also featured on Keys’ song ‘Put It in a Love Song’.

The Obamas

When Beyoncé sang at Barack Obama’s inauguration, a friendship began between her and his wife, Michelle. While this duo have been at the centre of many wholesome moments, the most iconic thing to come out of this friendship was definitely Michelle’s “Girl, you have done it again” video. And we have to agree, their friendship is constantly raising the bar for the rest of us.
